The Queen will welcome Donald at Windsor Castle

The monarch regularly meets Presidents of the United States and their spouses at Windsor Castle, including Barack and Michelle Obama, George W. Bush and Laura Bush, and Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Speaking about his visit to the UK at a press conference at the White House on Tuesday, Donald said that he is expecting to have an "interesting time in the UK", adding: "So I have NATO, I have the UK – that's a situation with turmoil, and I have Putin. Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all, who would think? Who would think? But the UK certainly – they certainly have a lot of things going on."

Donald also spoke about Boris Johnson, who recently resigned as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, saying: "Boris Johnson's a friend of mine, he's been very very nice to me, very supportive. And I maybe will speak to him when I get over there. I like Boris Johnson, I've always liked him." The President recently sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, where he apologised for controversially retweeting Britain First posts, saying: "If you are telling me these are horrible, racist people then I will apologise."
